So here is the 9th Chapter. Hope everyone is enjoying this. It has been fun to write so far. So in this episode we will see Puck, Finn and Jesse's reaction to the video. I have also added a scene where Mercedes apologises to Finn for her role in baby-gate. I just thought it would be interesting Merinn friendship scene because it was strange how there was little dialogue between them despite being in the Glee Club from the start. Rachel also begins to learn about a secret from her past. Enjoy.

Chapter 9: Betrayal

Finn's POV.

Screw this. After all this time Rachel has been trying to get with me and told me the truth about Quinn, once I get with her she goes and cheats on me with Jesse. Am I not good enough for anyone? I come over and see Mercedes walking towards me.

Mercedes: "Hey Finn, you seemed a little bit off today. Something wrong?"

Finn: "Rachel cheated on me with Jesse. God, I am such an idiot. Then this whole thing with the Glist, everything seems off this past week."

Mercedes: "I know. I am here to apologise for what happened with baby-gate. I knew weeks earlier before you did and I should have told you but I didn't. Do you need some help?"

Finn: "I just try to impress my mom. She has had to raise me on her own and I just want to make her proud of me. And with everything in the last week, I don't know if I can do it. On other thoughts, do you know who made the Glist?"

Mercedes: "No. It might be someone who knew the password who is trying to frame us all. Are you going to look for a rebound?"

Finn: "To the first question maybe it was. On the second question, with everything going on, I should just give my heart a break right now."

Mercedes: "Good idea, see you in Glee, Finn."

Finn: "See you later Mercedes."

My phone begins vibrating and it is a text from Rachel. It says Sorry for breaking your heart, is it possible if you would play my boyfriend Joey in the video for Glee later?

I reply saying Okay, but you will have to make it up for me later?

She replies Noted.

Jesse's POV

Rachel comes over to me when I arrive at school. She gives me a sweet kiss on the cheek. She comes over with something that she wishes to tell me. But I have something to ask her first.

Jesse: "Why weren't you at ballet yesterday?"

Rachel: "I can answer that by what I will need to ask you about? You know that music video that we are going to shoot?"

Jesse: "Yes."

Rachel: "Well, I am going to play the role of Julie. I went home to do some work but I went and asked Puck to play the role of Joey but he declined so I came and asked you if you could play the role."

Jesse: "Doesn't explain why you weren't in ballet yesterday?"

Rachel: "(Lying) I also hurt my ankle. Wanted to give it a rest."

Jesse: "Fine and yes, I will play the role of Joey in the video.

Puck's POV.

The next morning, I go to school with Quinn to begin filming the music video. Quinn is not taking part but understands why I am filming the video. Sandy Ryerson is the one who is playing Julie's dad. Santana and Brittany are playing the Angels (I know what world is it where Santana is an Angel?) Quinn and I go and find Rachel.

Puck: "Hey Rachel. You ready to film the video."

Rachel: "Yep, this will help regain your reputation. It could also help you too Quinn."

Quinn: "Whatever Man-Hands. Just keep your paws of my man."

Rachel: "I already have another man. So don't you worry about that."

Quinn just rolls her eyes and tells me to be careful with her. I tell her that I will. We are getting worried though because the due date of the baby is only a couple of weeks after Regionals. The last thing would be for her to go into labour during the competition.

We came and shot the video. Rachel says that she will edit it and get it ready for the group tomorrow. So that should be fine. But it felt weird, something about that performance made it feel that it will be terrible.

Mr Schue's POV.

In Glee rehearsal, Rachel announces that she will be editing the video and will be showing it in class tomorrow. But Quinn looked edgy, like she knew something was up. Though, I wouldn't accuse her now unless I knew she was behind the Glist.

I head out to go to teach my next Spanish class. Again, Quinn looks like something is wrong with her. What could it be?

Bang! Then I see it. A list of copies of the Glist in her bag being put into her locker. She was behind the Glist all along. My instincts were right. She was in my next Spanish lesson and that is when I ask her to stay behind at the end of the lesson.

Mr Schue: "I know you are behind the Glist."

Quinn: "What? You have no proof. I can't believe you are going to pin this on me. I will be expelled."

Mr Schue: "I know why you did it Quinn. You have lost so much therefore you had the most to gain from the Glist. In one decision, you can go from the top of the social ladder to the bottom."

Quinn: "(Starting to cry), I know I was Head Cheerleader. I was President of the Celibacy Club. I had Finn. Now I have none of those."

Mr Schue: "You are a fantastic performer, Quinn. This is a minor setback. You are going to get through this. There is a light at the end of the tunnel for you Quinn."

Then Figgins walks in.

Figgins: "Mr Schuester. Got any closer to finding out who made the Glist?"

Mr Schue: "No, no-one has come forward and admitted to them. However, they have stopped. Loyalty is important at this stage."

Figgins: "Fine, but this is your last warning Schuster. (Leaves)"

Quinn: "Thank you. (Gives Mr Schue a hug)"

Puck's POV.

We head into Glee rehearsal to watch the video of Run Joey Run that we have done in order to boost the Glee Club's popularity. I just hope that my previous instincts are proven wrong that this will be terrible.

Rachel gets it set up and we sit down to watch it. The video starts with Santana and Brittany revealing Rachel playing Julie running towards the camera with her first verse. Then it cuts to me singing my first verse and chorus. I look over and just smirk at Quinn but see both Finn and Jesse frowning. Is something up?

Finn's POV.

What? Puck is playing Joey too? This is weird. I have been double casted.

Jesse's POV.

Now I know why people didn't trust her? I was such a fool for thinking that I could trust her and she would go behind our backs.

Puck's POV.

So the video continues with Rachel's second verse which she does outside the lockers with people walking by. Well that is terrible editing. Then we go to the car scene and I hear Jesse's voice then he comes out of the car. Wait so that is why Jesse was angry? He was cast as well? Then we see Mr Ryerson who is playing Julie's dad with his shotgun. Okay. Then Rachel as Julie steps in front of Jesse. Or so I thought. Jesse warps instead into Finn. A freaking triple cast for Joey? Wow, nice one Berry.

Jesse's POV.

That is stupid. We were all lied to. She told me Puck rejected her offer to play Joey. Clearly he hadn't. Had Finn found out before I did? I'll ask him after the video.

Finn's POV.

No, it is a triple cast. Thanks Rachel. My part was the ending where it shows Rachel as Julie getting shot still showing the word bang and me running down and holding her in her last verse before she dies in the video. Then angels come and take her away. I look over at Puck and saw a shake of the head. I look at Jesse and he mouths 'did you know she would do this?' I mouthed a response of 'no.' Then it shows the ending with all three of us running away individually and then the Angels Santana and Brittany moving aside to show Rachel as Julie as Head Angel and her winking with the word Fin on the end. Then the video ends.

Rachel's POV.

I clap enthusiastically. I felt that went well. That will definitely enhance mine and the Glee Club's reputation. Help me improve my Glist rating. Who did that by the way?

I decide to get to the front and start talking about the performance.

Rachel: "Well why don't we just take a moment to digest what we just witnessed."

Finn: "This is garbage."

Mr Schue: "Finn…"

Puck: "(Interrupts) No he is right. I need to trust my own instincts more often because I had a feeling that when we were shooting that video that it wasn't going to be good."

Jesse: "(Mad) How did you not tell me that they were in this too? I thought that this was going to be something different? How do you think it makes me feel? To be triple casted to play opposite your girlfriend? How do you think I felt watching that?"

Rachel: "(Getting nervous) It was an artistic statement."

Finn: "No it was like you were trying to have a bunch of guys fighting over you. So you could stop looking like some sort of outcast and instead this sort of hot, slutty girl singer. (Gets up) How could you do this to me? To all us guys? Is your stupid reputation more important than your relationships? (Walks out)"

Jesse also walks out.

Rachel: "Jesse wait!"

Well I have really ruined it now.

Time skip.

I am at my locker and I see Jesse coming over to talk to me. It is going to be about the video isn't it?

Rachel: "Hey what is going on?"

Jesse: "Don't play dumb with me Rachel. What were you thinking about the casting of that video? You made me look like a fool for agreeing to that."

Rachel: "It was an artistic statement. It was about enhancing my performance and increasing my artistic skills. As a fellow rising performer, I hope you would understand."

Jesse: "On that level I can but you want to know something? Before I started dating you, I asked Finn and Puck for research about you and what I found was that you have this unburning desire to be right no matter how many people you offend and annoy at the same time? One last thing, if I see you at the ballet bar this week don't talk to me. Do all your twirls and PK's in silence. I am breaking up with you. You might say that I broke your heart but remember this, you broke mine first."

Rachel: "Jesse, hear me out." But he is gone. But I see that he dropped a CD record on the ground. I pick it up and it has just two sentences. But two sentences that mean a lot to me.

For Rachel Berry. From Mom.

Reviews and Feedback are always welcome. Next time, we see Rachel learn who her mother is and Quinn and Puck find someone to adopt their baby.
